have an attraction for the gentleman.

IT'S WELL.-The Seneca Dispatch
mans logic is somewhat at fault we
think. lie complains because Charley
Bluejacket was discharged by the COM
missioner who examined into the
Blackhoof killing, while Jack Outlet
went to jail for the lack Of bondsmen,
because he gave whisky to the Indians.
As Blackhoofs killing was due to the
use of whisky, IL looks 10 us as though
the right man was in the hole.
A PLEASANT EVENING. annual
meeting Of the Congregational church
Of this place was held last Thursday
evening. Reports from the pastor and
from secretaries Of the several auxiliary
societies were listened to with interest
and they made a satisfactory showing.
The annual election resulted in the
selection of Mrs. M. L. Timberlake as
trustee, w. G. Chamberlin as deacon,
G.. w. Green as treasurer and Miss
Flossie Stephens as organist. When
the business of the evening was con-
cluded, at the earnest request of the
pastor, Rev. n. NJ. Wheat, all present
repaired to the parsonage. Ample
preparation had been rade for recep-
tion OF the guests ano refreshments,
unsurpassed for exce,lency, were
served in abundance. That Mr..
Wheat and family are to remain among
us is a source of qualification to both
the congregation and community.
THE SILVER sPUR.-Regarding this
attraction which is to be presented in
this city on the 18th. the Austin
Statesman Of the lst, says: Among the
better performances with which we
have been favored this season the one
which held the boards last evening
may be classed. Miss Blanche
Vaughan, who assumes the leading
character, is a soubrette Of more than
ordinary talent, and gave a very en-
joys5le Interpretation OF Elgis Mari.
The "Silver Spur" is another of the
''lost beiress" plays, so seemingly pop
ular at present. II, however intro.
duces another character to admire
outside Of the heroine. 1t is that of
the innocent young person who, hRv-
ing been reared by the Gypsies, has
never heard Of the angels. On being
rescued from her foster parents at the
early age of five or thereabouts, is i'm
mediately instructed regarding the
celestials, and becomes in the twink
ling of an eye the model Of lambkin,
and proceeds to teach, by precept aud
example, the actors and the audience
how to be good. The comedy charac-
ters of Bush and Jugg are finely done
by Henry g. Robinson and Sol Aiken,
whose eccentric cavortings aroused
peals Of laughter and applause. The
entire company is good and perform
snce enjoyable, particularly the sing
ing and dancing OF Miss Vaughan while
the trio of wind instruments by Miss
Vaughan and Messrs. Robinson and
Aiken was rich, receiving a double
recall.
